One of many things my family has enjoyed during the holidays is playing with Lego blocks and putting designs together from Lego packs.
This particular set featured some of the technological developments that were part of the 1970s - 1980s era.
From the back row: The stand-alone "Pac-Man" game that I remember playing at a supermarket in the USA in the 80s; one of the first computers that I remember using at Uni in the 80s; a radio and tape recorder.
In the front row: a polaroid-type camera, a television set from the 80s, and a red dial-up telephone. All of these were interesting for my youngest to learn about as a child born in 2011, and these were all remnants of an age passed.
We now have virtual games on smartphones and laptops that have replaced the old computers. In fact, tape recorders are obsolete, with phones replacing the need for telephones, television sets, and cameras. What technologies did you remember or like of the 1970s - 1980s?...
